hey, i suffer from a terrible mouth breath , the kind u wish u were never born when u smell it , so i always consume "halls" cough syrup to improve my mouth breath , now the problem is , that im afraid that it will have some bad effects on my body , especially that iv been consuming it since years on daily basis.
the ingredients are:

You need to find the "cause" of the bad breath and not just try to cover it up.

The sinuses are usually guilty of causing bad breath.

Dental issues with gums is another cause. Try Listerine mouthwash, it kills germs.

Try irrigating sinuses with saline solution on regular basis and see if it helps. Here is a home solution you can make yourself. This was approved by my doctor:

1 cup boiling water

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon plain salt

Stir to dissolve, pour thru a clean paper coffee filter, fill a clean nasal spray bottle or similar. COOL. To use lie on bed on your back with head hanging off. Squirt a few squirts in each nostril, slowly turn head side to side, wait a little while. Say KKKKKKK while getting up to keep solution from running down your throat. Blow gently as needed.

You could also try using 3% hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash, many dentists recommend it.
